Forced to focus on daily life [Comprehensive English and American]

It started to rain lightly in New York City that night, bringing the rare coolness of early summer. Whether it was the lights of the Brooklyn Bridge or the whistle of a cruise ship on the Hudson River, it was very clear in the fine rain. The outside is hazy, and even the rhythmic music in the nightclub is a bit intoxicating, like drinking a glass of Mojito and chewing a few mint leaves.

Rosie was sitting on the edge of the roof of the printing company opposite the nightclub, her black high-heeled shoes were placed beside her along with the bamboo broom, and her legs in black stockings were slowly swaying to the rhythm from the nightclub.However, unlike usual, she was holding a pudding cup in her left hand and a transparent plastic spoon in her right hand. The light rain wetted the brim of her hat. Digged the mango pudding in the pudding cup in his hand.

The mango pudding sent by the chairman of the Stark Group is naturally extraordinary. The soft pudding was sent to the lips and teeth, and the unique taste of mango spread along the taste buds all the way to the brain. The deliciousness made her half-closed her eyes comfortably, and then said Let out a low sigh.

If she wasn't still holding the spoon in her right hand, she really wanted to slap her thigh, and then took out her mobile phone to call the boss and ask him where he ordered the mango pudding.

Different from the function of cigarettes that can temporarily throw away worries, the happiness brought by desserts cannot be expressed in words.

She was so absorbed in mango pudding that she didn't feel vigilant about the slight footsteps behind her. When she realized it, someone had already walked behind her and said with a smile: "If the legendary night witch sits The photo of eating mango pudding on the rooftop should be very surprising.”

She turned her head, and through layers of rain, she saw a tall man in a green tights and a purple hood. Before she could speak, the man whispered, "I'm also a New York criminal. Miko should know about the Green Goblin."

Rosie frowned, but because she was wearing a black mask, the other party didn't notice such a slight change in expression. She pursed her lips, turned her head, and casually stirred the mango pudding in the pudding cup with a plastic spoon in her right hand , laughed, and said, "I've never thought of myself as a criminal."

"That's right." The Green Goblin said with a smile, "Criminals themselves never feel that what they are doing is criminal."

He walked to Rosie's side and said, "This way, you are a truly qualified criminal."

The corners of Rosie's eyes twitched slightly. Although she knew Harry's father was the Green Goblin, a famous criminal in New York, she never thought that one day, the Green Goblin would come to her door and tease her that the majestic New York urban legend would eat on the rooftop. mango pudding.

——Of course, the purpose is definitely not as simple as teasing her to eat mango pudding.

Being stared at by the Green Goblin, eating mango pudding will give you no sense of happiness at all, so Rosie simply put the pudding cup aside and said, "Then why did you seek me, a qualified criminal, Mr. Green Goblin?"

"I believe the Night Witch still remembers the evil god Loki who had contact with you some time ago." The Green Goblin said.

Rosie looked up at him, and smiled: "Hasn't the evil god Loki been brought back to Asgard by Thor?" She raised her eyebrows, "Why, could it be that he sneaked down again? ?”

"That's not true." After the Green Goblin finished speaking, he paused and asked again, "Actually, I've always been curious why the Night Witch always squats on the rooftop opposite this club every night and doesn't do other things. , just wait for that unlucky guy to show up."

"You also said that that person is unlucky." Rosie said lightly, "Being entangled by the Night Witch, I guess I will have an indissoluble bond with plastic surgery in this life."

"Then the Night Witch never wondered why that unlucky guy would choose to come to this club every time he knew he would be beaten up if he showed up here." The Green Goblin lowered his head and looked at her.

The curvature of Rosie's mouth gradually disappeared, and even her eyes became colder.

"Loki told me something before leaving the earth." The Green Goblin squatted down slowly, lowered his voice, and said in Rosie's ear, "So, I went to the regular customer of plastic surgery and gave Give him some money and let him do something for me."

Rosie clenched her fists secretly, forcibly relaxed her tone, and said, "For example?"

"For example, let him continue to appear in front of this club, make sure that you must wait for him here every day, and make sure that she hides there when she waits for him." The Green Goblin said.

Rosie laughed, "Mr. Green Goblin, is this?"

"Naturally, I want to talk to the Night Witch." The Green Goblin also laughed, "Before Loki left Earth, he told me that the Night Witch is actually an employee of the Stark Group, but he didn't tell me exactly where In his words, this is a very interesting girl, it is too boring to directly take off her mask, it is better to watch her tremblingly cover her own mask."

As he spoke, he glanced at Rosie, "Don't worry, Night Witch, I'm not a god, and I'm not a good liar, so I didn't see through your true identity, so you don't need to be so nervous."

Rosie smiled: "Mr. Green Goblin is worrying too much, I'm not nervous."

"Really?" The Green Goblin said with a smile, "Then why does it always feel like the Night Witch is going to draw a gun and point it at my head in the next second?"

Rosie pushed back the half-extruded pistol calmly. She put her right hand to her lips and giggled. When she laughed, her bare shoulders trembled slightly, and she looked quite charming. , After that, she withdrew her hand, looked at the Green Goblin expressionlessly, and said, "Then what does Mr. Green Goblin want to say to me?"

The Green Goblin raised one lip: "The scepter of the evil god Loki."

She narrowed her eyes: "I don't know."

"You will know." The Green Goblin said, "Although I don't know why Loki is so sure, I think he will never lie to me about this kind of thing."

Rosie sneered: "I don't believe you want to get back the scepter for him."

"Naturally." The Green Goblin said with a smile, "The real criminals naturally know the real criminals."

"I'm not a criminal." Rosie squinted her eyes halfway. Before the Green Goblin could react, she had already drawn out the revolver/gun and pressed the muzzle against his forehead. The speed at which she drew/gun Soon, the wrist holding the gun did not tremble. She looked into the Green Goblin's eyes and said coldly, "If I were a criminal, the trigger would have been pulled already."

The Green Goblin looked up at her, but said nothing.

"I don't like people threatening me, so only I can take off my mask." After Rosie finished speaking, she withdrew the gun, pulled the trigger ring, and turned the gun between her fingers. In this position, she looked at the red head I have done the cover, and I always think it is very handsome, but she has been stealing manhole covers all the year round and has very little time to use a gun. I never thought that this day would have the opportunity for her to show off her ability to control firearms.

She twirled the gun between her fingers, then threw it into the void, and said, "If you still want to threaten me with my mask, then..." She looked sideways at the Green Goblin, smiled, "I will take off your mask in front of your son."

The Green Goblin's eyes widened slightly.

At the same time, the crisp voice of the precision scoring system came from her ear: "Today's night mission has been successfully completed, the main mission 'Urban Legend' has been completed at 98.1%, there is a special bonus for threatening famous villains, and the main mission 'Urban Scum' has been completed 5%."

Rosie: "..."

Why didn't you say that threatening the villain can also complete the task!If I had known she would have gone to neighbor Osborn's house every night in the middle of the night and pointed a gun at the Green Goblin Norman Osborn's bedside and talked to him!

Just when Rosie was surprised, the Green Goblin had slowly stood up. His aura did not drop sharply because Rosie pointed a gun at his head before. He stood in the rain and looked down at Rosie. , After a long while, he smiled and said, "Night Miko, I am looking forward to the day when you become the most famous criminal in New York City, even more than myself." He paused and said, "You are the closest Loki's scepter, I believe you can't help stretching out your hand first."

With her back to him, Rosie picked up her pudding cup again and smiled, "I don't need to worry about that." She sipped the pudding between her lips and teeth, then nodded, and whispered, "Turn back Be sure to ask where you bought it..."

Since that night, the whole of New York City has been immersed in such obscene rain. Every time Rosie drives to and from work, she has to turn on the wiper. The sound of the wiper always makes her feel inexplicably irritable. The water will also go from her heels to her trousers, leaving muddy marks.

While putting her clothes into the washing machine, Kailani muttered: "Girls should not take too big strides when they walk in high heels. Not only will they splash their trousers, but they will also rub their heels."

Rosie has long been used to nagging Kailani, because Mr. and Mrs. Mathers are not at home for a long time, and Rosie doesn't talk too much, so that the only thing in this house is the hbo TV series played on the TV. The screams of the characters are only Kailani's nagging with a Southeast Asian accent.

She was lying on the sofa playing "Fruit Ninja" and complained: "Shouldn't it be blamed for the rain these days?"

"Even if it's not raining, it's not right for you to run in high heels. What if you sprain your ankle?" Kailani adjusted the washing machine mode, walked to the living room, glanced at Rosie's mobile phone, and said strangely, "Why have you been playing for so many years?" previous mobile games?"

Without raising her eyelids, Rosie said softly, "It's actually quite fun now."

She quickly cut the falling banana, pineapple and apple into several pieces. After completing the level, she quit the game and clicked on the social software that displayed several unread letters.

In addition to the satisfaction expressed by the students in the group that they finally had a day off before the conference, Harry sent the Midtown High School homecoming dance invitation.

Every October is the time for the school to hold the homecoming festival. In addition to the performances of the school teachers and various student associations, there is also the last day and the most anticipated homecoming dance. In this dance, not only the student union can enjoy Parents are invited to attend any limited-time revelry, and after the dance, students vote for the Homecoming King and Queen.

Rosie had just completed her life change from Brooklyn Death Knight to Manhattan Sweetheart in September last year. Before her smile was practiced, she was pushed onto the podium by the students of Empire State University and put on a prom queen's dress. Laurel, with a stiff smile, danced a dance that could be described as "disaster" with the prom king from the School of Physics.

So she decided to escape this year's homecoming on the grounds that the internship was too busy.

It just didn't occur to her that Harry would invite her to their school's homecoming dance.

She thought about it, and when she was about to reply, Harry sent another message: "Rosie... don't think too much, it's just because my dad doesn't have time to attend, so I think you might... Don't worry, no one will think you are my mother."

After the message, he also sent a series of smiley emojis to express his humor.

Kailani also happened to see this passage, and frowned, "That's not okay, Rosie, what if someone thinks you are his stepmother?"

Rosie: "???"

She thought about how Norman Osman himself had to learn how to wear tights when he was young until middle age, and she felt that instead of being mistaken for his mistress, it would be better to be a bad guy on the rooftop that night... …
